2 In case you use a PCI extension box, please install the box following the
guidelines in its Installation or User's guide.
Considerations for the installation itself
1 This manual contains Hardware Installation Guidelines. Install the board(s) in
the PC or PCI extension box following these guidelines and precautions (esp.
ESD protection).
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII

Introduction
For MeDis 2MP2 only : Take the following additional guidelines into account:
2 Each imaging board from the MeDis 2MP2 system contains 2 heads.
Accordingly, the board is numbered with 2 digits. E.g., the first board is
numbered "1-2", meaning the board contains heads 1 and 2. The second
board, containing heads 3 and 4, if present, is numbered "3-4". You can find
these numbers on a label on the connector plate of the board.
3 In a multi-board system, the order in which you place the boards in the PC or
extension box, is not random: They must be placed in ascending order, taking
the order number of the PCI slots into account.
E.g., board labeled "1-2" must be placed in PCI slot #4, board labeled "3-4" in
slot #5, etc.
4 In case the PCI slots are not numbered on the PC motherboard, you can
probably find the correct order in the main board's user manual.
If not, it is hard to know which is the slot with the lowest number. In that case,
you have to follow a try-and-error procedure. If the boards are not placed in
the correct slots, you will notice the displays show their part of the complete
image in an incorrect sequence after installation (e.g., the leftmost part of the
image is displayed by the rightmost display). If this phenomenon occurs, you
will have to switch the boards and their video cables until the image is
displayed in the correct sequence.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Notice: Wear a protective ESD strap during installation or handling of the
board. Electrostatic charges can damage the board.
Familiarizing Yourself With the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed
2MP1NT Imaging Board
Prior to installing your 2MP2 or 2MP1NT board(s) in your PC please take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with both the board and the PCI slots in your
computer.
Figure 1: The BarcoMed 2MP2 and BarcoMed 2MP1NT
Jumper Location
There is one user settable jumper on the BarcoMed 2MP2 and BarcoMed
2MP1NT. It is used to enable or disable the VGA capabilites of the board.
Using the VGA Capabilities of the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed
2MP1NT
Prior to installing the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT, decide if you are
going to use its on-board VGA capabilities. If you are,
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
17
Imaging board installation
check the setting of the Jumper at J-100 on the graphics board. (See Figure 1
on the preceding page.) By default, VGA should be disabled, i.e. on both pins.
If you decide to use your multisyncing high resolution grayscale monitor as your
boot monitor, you must enable the on-board VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed
2MP2 or 2MP1NT Imaging Board by removing the jumper from the pins at
J-100. We suggest placing the jumper on only one of the two pins, so that you
don’t lose the jumper.
NOTE: To use multiple BarcoMed 2MP2 and/or BarcoMed 2MP1NT Imaging
Board(s) in a single host with VGA enabled, you need to enable VGA on only
ONE of the BarcoMed 2MP2 and/or BarcoMed 2MP1NT Imaging Board(s) and
disable VGA on ALL other BarcoMed Imaging Board(s).

Imaging board installation
Installing the BarcoMed 2MP2 or 2MP1NT Graphics Controller
To install the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT into your computer, follow
these steps:
1) Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power cord.
2) Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be
sure to observe safety warnings.
3) If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed
2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT (see Using the VGA capabilities of the
BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT), you must now remove any VGA
cards that are currently installed in the computer. You may also need to
uninstall the drivers for that VGA board. (Consult the User Guide for your
VGA board for instructions on removing the driver.) If your system has an
integrated VGA card you may need to make changes to your system’s BIOS
settings in order to use the VGA capabilities of your BarcoMed board.
(Consult your system manual(s) for instructions on making changes to the
BIOS settings.)
SPECIAL NOTE: If you have a separate VGA card and it has a
Cirrus chip, you must remove it from your system before installing
the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT. If you have on-board
VGA that uses a Cirrus chip, consult your system manual on how
to disable it before installing the BarcoMed board(s). Once the
system VGA is disabled, you must ensure that the BarcoMed
board’s VGA capabilities are enabled if you want to see your boot
messages.
4) Install the BarcoMed 2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT Graphics Controller into a
free PCI slot. Be sure that the board is seated firmly in the slot.
5) Secure the card to the chassis with the PC’s I/O panel mounting screw, and
replace the chassis cover.
6) Connect the left-hand display to the uppermost connector on the BarcoMed
2MP2 or BarcoMed 2MP1NT (VID 1 - see figure 3 on next page) using the
provided video cable. For a dual-headed BarcoMed 2MP2 setup, connect the
right-hand display to the other connector (VID 2) on the board.
7) Each of the display cables has three BNC connectors on it. The green one is
the video, the black one is the horizontal sync, and the white one is the
vertical sync.
8) Install the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system as usual.

Running Multiple BarcoMed 2MP Boards in a Single Host
NOTE: The physical order of the displays may vary when you are running
multiple BarcoMed 2MP boards. This is due to the PC’s PCI bus control in the
system BIOS, and not the BarcoMed board. It may
become necessary, depending on how your PC’s BIOS configures the PCI bus,
to switch your BNC display connections to achieve a linear desktop
configuration.

Display installation
Placing and configuring the displays
1 The last part of this system manual is a copy of the display user manual.
Follow the precautions and guidelines from this part.
2 The display(s) from a multihead MeDis system are numbered. E.g., in a
quad-head system, the displays are numbered 1 to 4. You can find the
number of the display on a label at the rear side.
3 In a multi-head system, the order in which you place the displays is not
random: From left to right or from top to bottom in ascending order.
4 The displays' remote addresses are properly set at the factory. The
addresses correspond to the display numbers on the rear label: Display #1
has address 1 etc.
Note: Should anything be wrong with the display addresses, this can easily
be solved by running the ‘Configuration Setup Wizard’ in MediCal Pro.
For more information, please refer to the MediCal part of this manual.

1 The video cables from the MeDis system are numbered. You can find the
number on a label on the cable.
The cable number must correspond to the head (on the imaging board) and
the display it is connected to: E.g., cable #1 must connect head #1 (on the
first imaging board) to display #1, cable #2 must connect head #2 (also on
the first board) to display #2, etc.
2 Plug in the D15 connector of the video cable into the connector of the
imaging board, as described in the BarcoMed installation guidelines.
3 Plug in the large coaxial connectors (BNC) of the video cable into the
connectors of the display. Plug in the cable connector marked with green
plastic, into the display connector marked "Video". Plug in the cable
connector marked with black plastic, into the display connector marked "HS/
CS". Plug in the cable connector marked with white plastic, into the display
connector marked "VS".
Connection of the Remote cables
Note: One of the remote cables is packed inside the MediCal box.
1 The Remote cables that come with MeDis are not numbered. It does not
matter which cable you connect to which display, as long as you take the
Remote inputs and outputs on the displays into account.
2 Take one of the remote cables from the MeDis system. Plug in its D9 female
connector into one of the PC's serial ports (e.g., COM1). If the port has 25
pins, use the D25-to-D9 interface you find in the MediCal software box to
connect the remote cable.
Plug the other end, the D9 male connector, into the Remote In connector on
one of the displays.
3 In case of a multi-head system, take a second Remote cable. Plug the D9
female connector into the Remote Out connector of the display you have
connected in step 2. Plug the other end of the cable into the Remote In
connector of another display.
4 Proceed in this way until all displays are daisy-chained through the Remote
bus.
Power up the system
Connect the displays and PC to the power supply. Switch on all the devices.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Overview
The BarcoMed 2MP Family Software Installation section has been divided into
three sections, one for each of the three supported versions of the Windows
operating system. They are: Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Because of Windows 2000’s and Windows XP’s Plug and Play features and their
ability to support multiple types of imaging boards simultaneously, those sections
have been further subdivided by the various BarcoMed imaging board models.
Since Windows NT 4.0 supports only one type of imaging board at a time, the
process for installing the drivers for the BarcoMed imaging boards is identical
regardless of which model you are using.
In addition to the device drivers for your BarcoMed imaging boards, your
BarcoMed Software CD also includes several additional tools. They are: The
Barco Metheus Configuration Tab, the Barco Metheus Hardware Configuration
Tab and the Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver. The Barco Metheus
Configuration Tab and the Barco Metheus Hardware Configuration Tab are
automatically installed with BarcoMed imaging board drivers. The Barco Metheus
Configuration Tab helps you manage the special features of your BarcoMed
imaging boards. The Barco Metheus Hardware Configuration Tab gathers
information about the BarcoMed imaging boards and your system that is useful
when diagnosing problems. The Barco Metheus Hardware Configuration Tab
can also be used to update the firmware on the AURA video chipset based
BarcoMed imaging boards. The Barco Metheus DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) Screen Saver is an optional tool which must be installed
separately. The Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver allows the user to set
power and monitor saving features for medical monitors driven by BarcoMed
Imaging Boards. At the end of the workday, the monitor will enter certain DPMS

Planning Your Barcomed Windows 2000
Installation
Because of Windows 2000’s Plug and Play features, it is very important to
carefully plan your BarcoMed Board Hardware and Software installation and
install the device drivers in the same sequence that the boards are installed in
the PCI slots.
When installing BarcoMed Imaging Boards for the first time in a Windows 2000
System, Windows 2000 Plug and Play Software identifies the BarcoMed boards
by the Video Chipset utilized on each boards. The Table below shows the
BarcoMed Board, the Chip Set utilized by the board and the driver Windows

If you have previously installed drivers for the BarcoMed Imaging Boards in your
Windows 2000 System, Windows 2000 should correctly identify the board by
their correct BarcoMed name. However, while updating the drivers to a new
version or reinstalling the current driver Windows 2000 may identify the
BarcoMed Imaging Boards by their Video Chipset.
If you choose to install multiple types of BarcoMed Imaging Boards in your
computer it is important to carefully note which PCI slot each board is in and
then install the drivers for each type of board based on the PCI slot they are
installed in. If you are using the VGA Capabilities of a BarcoMed Imaging
Board it is important to install the driver for this board and set its
resolution first.

Palette Mode
You can choose one of the following Palette Modes:
UserModifiable Color Palette
This option allows applications to modify the palette contents dynamically. As
indicated by the picture below, this mode reserves the first 10 and last 10 entries
in the palette for the Windows operating system, but applications can manipulate
the middle 236 entries. This is the standard palette mode as configured by
Windows.
Static Gray Palette including standard system colors
This option sets the palette to be a static set of 256 gray values. Therefore,
applications are denied the ability to dynamically change or allocate palette
entries. This prevents palette conflicts between applications, which can cause
image color values to appear distorted in the background application.
As shown in the next picture, the 20 standard system colors are converted from
RGB to gray values. The rest of the 236 entries from
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
53
BarcoMed software driver installation
index 10 to 245 contain the missing gray values so that the palette has the full
256 gray values within it.
Please note that dithering is not permitted while in this mode. The Enable
Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be automatically
disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked. This complies with
the Windows standard interface method. If you are unsure whether or not your
application requires this “Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors”
mode, contact your application provider.
Static Gray Palette with NO system colors
This option sets the palette to be a static linear ramp of 256 shades of gray.
Therefore, applications are denied the ability to dynamically change or allocate
palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts between applications, which can
cause image color values to appear distorted in the background application.
As shown in the picture below, each of the 256 entries in the palette has an RGB
value of (i, i, i) where i is the index from 0 to 255.
If you wish to use a static gray palette we recommend using the “Static Gray
Palette including Standard System Colors” option instead of this one. This is
due to the fact that some applications assume that the first and last 10 entries of
the palette are the standard system colors. In this palette mode, these entries
are made up from entries in the bottom or the top of the gray ramp. Please note
that dithering is not permitted while in this mode. The Enable Dithering check
box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be automatically disabled regardless of
whether this check box is checked. This complies with the Windows standard
interface method. If you are unsure whether or not
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
54
BarcoMed software driver installation
your application requires this “Static Gray Palette with NO System colors” mode,
contact your application provider.
Drawing Modes
You can choose one or both of the following Drawing Modes:
Enable DirectDraw
This option allows the user to enable or disable DirectDraw. DirectDraw is a
software interface that provides direct access to display devices while
maintaining compatibility with the Windows graphics device interface (GDI).
DirectDraw provides a device-independent way for applications to gain access to
the hardware features of specific display devices. If you enable DirectDraw, your
application will have the choice of using DirectDraw or GDI. If you disable
DirectDraw, your application will use GDI instead of DirectDraw. Please note
that in any case, your application can always use BarcoMed driver functions (i.e.
WinBarco) or other graphics extensions (such as OpenGL).
Enable Dithering
This option allows the user to enable or disable dithering. Dithering is a
technique for increasing the perceived range of colors in an image at the cost of
spatial resolution. Adjacent pixels are assigned differing color values; when
viewed from a distance, these colors seem to blend into a single intermediate
color. The technique is similar to the half-toning used in black-and-white
publications to achieve shades of gray. Please note that this option is only
available when the User Modifiable Palette Mode is selected. This is because
dithering is only supported under Windows when the display is palletized. If
either the “Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors” mode or the
“Static Gray Palette with NO System colors” mode is selected, the “Enable
Dithering” check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be automatically
disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked. This complies with
the Windows standard interface method.
Monitor Configuration
This option allows you to select the number of monitors that the current display
boards should drive, as well as how the monitors should be positioned. For
example, if the current board installation is capable of driving four heads, but you
only have three monitors which are placed in a single row, then you can select
the “Three monitors –
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
55
BarcoMed software driver installation
one row” option from the pull-down list. This would cause the Windows virtual
desktop to be resized to fit on the three monitors, and you can move your cursor
horizontally from one screen to the other.
If “Custom Configuration” is displayed, it means that the current monitor
configuration was set via the registry and it doesn’t agree with any of the
configurations that the display control panel supports. Contact Barco Medical
Imaging Systems for further information.

BARCO METHEUS DPMS OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Barco Metheus DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) Screen
Saver allows the user to set power and monitor saving features for medical
monitors driven by BarcoMed Imaging Boards. At the end of the workday, the
monitor will enter certain DPMS states as requested by the imaging board. This
is accomplished through standardized signals between the monitor and imaging
board.
The default DPMS state is the Off state. In addition to simply entering the Off
state after the work day, the user can specify that the monitor first go through two
other DPMS states before going into Off state. These two other states are
Stand-By and Suspend. The user can specify how much time should be spent in
each state in the “Amount of Time in each DPMS Power State” section.
A valuable feature of the Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver is that it will
automatically ensure that CRT based monitors are warmed up for the start of the
work day. All CRT based monitors require some warm-up time before they are at
full performance.
On Barco CORONIS displays, the I-GUARD will stabilize the image within a few
seconds after the monitor returns to the active state, thus eliminating the need
for a warm-up period at the beginning of the workday.
On CRT based monitors, such as the Barco MGD series, a “regular” screen
saver can be invoked during user inactivity during the workday. This “regular”
screen saver and its settings can be chosen from the “Screen Saver During
Work Day” section. We recommend using an all black screen saver, such as the
“Barco Metheus Blank Screen” saver, for the longest phosphor life.
On LCD based monitors, such as the Barco CORONIS displays, it is not
necessary to invoke a screen saver as there is no CRT phosphor to preserve.
However, one can extend the life of the backlight in the LCD monitor, in addition
to realizing great power savings, during period of user inactivity by using DPMS
to quickly enter the Off state. We recommend setting the work day to be as short
as possible to get the maximum power savings on CORONIS displays.
The Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver can also be used when no one is
logged on.

BarcoMetheus DPMS Screen Saver Options
From the “Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver Control Panel” you can change
many DPMS screen saver elements simultaneously. The DPMS screen saver
elements in each scheme are work schedule, work day screen saver, DPMS
settings after workday, and many additional options.
Current Scheme
Lists the three “DEFAULT” schemes which you can use as they are. Or you can
modify them to meet your office’s schedule.
Save As
Saves your current Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver settings. The name you
specify will appear in the Scheme list so you can easily restore these settings
later.
Delete
Deletes the scheme that is selected in the Scheme box.
Work Schedule
Select the begin and end times for each workday. If the system is not expected
to be used, leave both start and end workday times as the same time.
Begin Work Day
The “Begin Work Day” time is the time after which the system is expected to start
being used. During the workday, the screen saver selected by the user in the
“Screen Saver During Work Day” section is used during user inactivity.
End Work Day
The “End Work Day” time is the time after which the system is not expected to
be used any more for that day. After the workday, the display is set to one of the
DPMS states (Stand-By, Suspend, or Off) by the imaging board during user
inactivity.
Screen Saver During Work Day
On CRT based monitors, such as the Barco MGD series, a “regular” screen
saver can be invoked during user inactivity during the

DPMS Settings After Work Day
If you have an imaging board that supports DPMS calls, then you will be able to
set the DPMS Settings for after the work day. Otherwise, a text box will be
displayed tell you why DPMS functions are not available.
Amount of Time in each DPMS State
After the workday, the monitor will be placed into one of the following DPMS
Power States: Stand-By, Suspend, or Off. The default setting is for the monitor to
directly go into the Off State and spend no time in the Stand-By or Suspend
states. If the user wishes to go into the Stand-By or Suspend states before
going into the Off state, select the required amount of time for each state.
If requested, the monitor will first go into Stand-By state, then into Suspend state,
and then into Off state. The properties of DPMS states are listed in the following
table:

monitors require some warm-up time before they are at full performance, this
ensures that the monitor is ready for use at the beginning of the workday.
If you have a Barco Medical Monitor, select “Barco Quick Start.” If a non-Barco
monitor is being used, select the amount of time it takes your monitor to warm up
via the “Monitor Setting” section. Contact your monitor vendor for this warm-up
time.
On Barco CORONIS displays, the I-GUARD will stabilize the image within a few
seconds after the monitor returns to the active state so there is no need for a
warm-up time period.

Installing the BarcoMetheus DPMS Screen
Saver
To install the DPMS Screen Saver, you must have the Microsoft Windows
Installer program installed on your system. To verify that it is installed use
Windows Explorer to search for the following file: “msiexec.exe”. If you do not
find this file, you can install it from the BarcoMed Software CD by following the
steps below. If the Windows Installer is installed on your system skip to step 6
below.
1. Insert the BarcoMed Software CD in your system’s CD drive.
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
66
BarcoMed software driver installation
2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the following folder: [CD
drive]:\DPMS_ScreenSaver\:
On Windows NT 4.0 systems install the Windows Installer by
double clicking on the file “instmsiw.exe”.
On Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems install the Windows
Installer by double clicking on the file “instmsia.exe”.
3. Restart your system if prompted to do so.
4. Now install the DPMS Screen Saver by double clicking on the file:
5. “[CD drive]:\DPMS_ScreenSaver\setup.exe”. This will launch the
Windows Installer which will guide you through the DPMS install
process. Click “Next” to continue.
6. The “Customer Information” page will appear. The Installer will
automatically fill in the blanks using the information entered when
Windows was installed on your system. You may change this
information if you wish. We recommend that you install DPMS for
all users of the computer. Click “Next” to continue.
7. The “Setup Type” page will now appear. Choose “Typical” to
install the default schemes with English names. Choose
“Custom” to install the default schemes with either Dutch or
German names. Currently the default schemes are not supported
in the Japanese, Korean and Chinese languages. W e
recommend that the users of these three languages install the
English default schemes and then rename and save them into their
language in the DPMS configuration screen. Click “Next” to
continue.
8. The “Ready to Install Program” page will now appear, click
“Install” to install DPMS.
9. When the Windows Installer has finished installing DPMS, the
“Installshield Wizard Completed” page will appear, click “Finish”
to exit the program.
Getting started with the BarcoMetheus DPMS
Screen Saver
The easiest way to get started is to select an existing Scheme and then modify it
with your preferences. Schemes are separated into two kinds, DEFAULT
(global) and PRIVATE (personal).
Upon installation, three default schemes are installed and no private schemes
are installed.
Default schemes are visible to all users of the system. However, they can be
modified only by users with administrator privileges. If a user who does not have
administrator privileges tries to save a scheme using an existing default scheme
name, an error message is
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
67
BarcoMed software driver installation
displayed saying “you must have administrator rights to modify a default
scheme.” If an administrator saves a scheme using an existing default scheme
name, a message is displayed to tell the user that the modification is saved to a
default scheme and will be visible to all users. If the administrator saves a
scheme using a new name, then the user is asked if the scheme should be
saved as a default scheme or a private scheme. Since there is no distinction
between how a default scheme and a private scheme is displayed, it is highly
recommended that the user use a different naming convention to distinguish the
two (i.e. use “DEFAULT: ...” for default schemes).
Private schemes are shared and visible to all users of the system. Users who do
not have administrator privileges can create, modify or delete private schemes.
However, only the user who created them can modify or delete them. When the
delete button is pressed, the user is asked to confirm the delete request.
Using the BarcoMetheus DPMS Screen Saver
To set up the Barco Metheus DPMS Screen Saver using one of the three default
schemes, please do the following:
1. Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right clicking on an
empty space of the desktop and then select the “Screen Saver”
tab. ( See figures 20, 21 and 22. )
2. Select the “BarcoMetheus DPMS Screen Saver” in the “Screen
Saver” drop down menu if it is not already selected.
3. Click on the “Settings” button. The “Barco Metheus DPMS
Screen Saver Control Panel” will open. ( See figure 23. )
4. Use the default schemes by selecting one of the three default
schemes. Click “OK”. Then Click “OK” again.
Note: If you make any changes to any of the settings of one of the
three default schemes, the Current Scheme field will blank and you
MUST SAVE your changes by clicking on the “Save As ...” button.
When you click on the “Save As ...” button, the name of the last
scheme you used will be automatically displayed, you can then
choose to use that scheme name or enter a new name. After the
you have saved the scheme, then click OK and the new scheme
will be in effect.

INTRODUCTION
Overview
Resolution and bandwidths
The BARCO MGD 221 is a high resolution, greyscale portrait display. Its
outstanding visual performance, combining a 2 MegaPixel resolution with a high
brightness, makes it ideal for medical imaging and many other medical and
scientific applications.
The MGD 221 is compatible with any AC power system worldwide and
automatically synchronizes to a wide range of sync frequencies. Its high-speed
video amplifier supports pixel clocks up to 250 MHz.
The memory system
The internal memory system can contain the adjustments for 8 different scanning
formats, the so-called scanning modes. Each scanning format is characterized
by its sync signals. The display’s internal micro controller continuously samples
the connected sync signals and compares them to the scanning modes already
stored in the memory. If the connected signal has already been stored, the micro
controller adapts the image to the corresponding adjustment values in the
memory, and further adjustments are unnecessary.
Image conformity and consistency
Image conformity and consistency are the keywords. In our factory, the MGD 221
displays are perfectly adjusted and calibrated before they are shipped to the
customer. Internal circuits, like the TrueGrey® and Automatic White Stability
(AWS) systems, ensure display consistency over time.
Conformity with the original image quality is guaranteed by the automatic
calibration, which can be done by means of an optical sensor, connected to the
Sensor connector on the display. The sensor is not supplied with the display.
Calibration and adjustments
The conformity calibration, as well as the complete adjustment of the display,
can be performed by means of the remote, user-friendly MediCal® software
package. MediCal, is especially developed to adjust and check BARCO’s
medical displays.
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
83
Display user manual
A lot of adjustments can also be done on the monitor itself, by means of an
extensive on-screen menu system, accessible from the rear panel controls.
Power saving system
The MGD 221 is equipped with a power saving system.
When left idle for a certain time, the computer, connected to the display, will
power down the display in several steps. The power saving system can be
switched on or off during the installation or adjustment of the display.
This system requires a computer imaging board that supports power saving
management.
Versions and options
The MGD 221 comes in 2 different versions: With an anti-reflective panel in front
of the picture tube, and without panel (No Panel version).
In both cases, the phosphor is a B4-L8 type.
The type of CRT phosphor and the presence of the coating are indicated on the
label at the rear of the display.
The video input is terminated to 75 Ohm.
Important: It is absolutely necessary that the impedances of imaging board and
display are the same. If not, the image quality will be inferior.
The MGD 221 can be delivered with the following options: Southern Hemisphere
Compensation and Ambient Light Compensation (ALC).
The MediCal software and the X-Rite DTP92 sensor are not delivered with the
display.
MediCal can be ordered separately.
About the manuals
This guide is meant for people who want to install and use the MGD 221 display,
as well as people who need to install and adjust the display. The chapter
"Advanced Adjustments" is meant for trained engineers only, because it
describes actions and procedures that require a technical skill to be performed
properly.

Signal connection
a) Connection of video signals
The connected equipment must comply to all relevant safety demands.
Important: The use of low-quality video cables can distort the video signal
and influence diagnosis.
1. Check the impedance of the imaging board that produces the video signals
you want to connect. It must be 75 Ohm (just like the input of the display). If
not, the quality of the images on the display will be inferior.
2. Connect the video output of the computer’s imaging board to the video and
sync inputs on the display’s rear panel. Use a proper video cable. The video
cable is not supplied with the display, unless the display comes as part of a
complete BARCO MeDis system, that also contains an imaging board.
The inputs accept the following signals:
• Video with separate horizontal and vertical sync.
The video cable has 3 wires.
Connect the video signal to the connector Video {7}.
Connect the horizontal sync signal to the connector HS/CS {8}.
Connect the vertical sync signal to the connector VS {9}.
• Video with external composite sync.
The video cable has 2 wires.
Connect the video signal to the connector Video {7}.
Connect the composite sync signal to the connector HS/CS {8}.
• Video with internal composite sync (sync on video).
The video cable has 1 wire.
Connect the video (with sync) signal to the connector Video {7}.
Notes:
•
The video inputs cannot be connected in loop-through (daisy-chain).
•
The required video amplitude: 700 mV ± 3 dB.
•
The required sync. amplitude: 500 mV.

Display user manual
b) Connection of data signals
The display can be controlled remotely by a computer through the serial data
bus. A typical example of this, is the MediCal software that controls the display.
MediCal runs on a PC that is connected through the serial data bus. This PC is
not necessarily the same computer as the one that produces the video signals.
Unlike the video signals, it is possible to daisy-chain the serial data bus. This
means you can control different displays from one PC.
To connect the data signals:
1. Connect one end of the serial data cable to one of the PC’s COM ports. If the
COM port has a 25-pin connector, you will need to use a D25-to-D9 interface
connector. The cable and the interface connector are both supplied with
MediCal.
2. Connect the other end of the serial data cable to the Remote In connector
{6} on the display’s rear panel.
3. For a daisy-chain application, connect the Remote Out connector {5} of the
first display to the Remote In connector {6} of the next display.
c) Connection of optical sensor
To calibrate the display, connect the optical sensor to the Sensor connector {1}
at the front.
Notes:
•
The display supports the DTP 92 from X-Rite as optical
sensor.
•
The optical sensor is not supplied by BARCO.
•
Calibration can be done by means of MediCal only.
•
Always use the Ambient Light Shield
during calibration.

Display user manual
d) Connection of power
1. Power cord: Utilize a UL-listed detachable power cord, 3-wire, type SJ or
equivalent, 18 AWG min., rated 300 V min., provided with a hospital-grade
type plug 5-15P configuration for 120V application, or 6-15P for 240V
application.
2. Plug one end of the power cord into the rear of the display (connector LINE
{10}). Plug the other end into a grounded AC power outlet. The display
automatically adapts to the voltage. The voltage range is: 100-240 VAC +/10%.
Positioning the display
The tilt and swivel base allows you to adjust the height and viewing angle of the
display to obtain an optimal viewing comfort.

Important considerations
•
The best environment for diagnostic imaging is one with controlled and
dimmed ambient light. The human eye's sensitivity depends on the
ambient light strength. It is most sensitive to small contrast changes (or
subtle image details) at limited ambient light levels.
•
The best ambient light level, expressed in Lux, depends on the
application. An office illumination typically requires 500 Lux. A dimmed
environment, like a softcopy room, requires less than 100 Lux.
•
Using your display in a controlled and dimmed environment also
extends its lifetime, because the display can operate at limited
brightness and contrast. These levels correspond to the calibrated
position in most cases.
•
A controlled ambient light environment implies the ambient light is as
constant as possible. Cover windows to keep out the daylight. Avoid
switching the lights and viewing boxes on and off. A consistent
environment results in more image consistency and less eye fatigue.
•
Avoid reflections in the picture tube. Provide indirect lighting. Don't
place the displays in front of or close to a light source like a window or
viewing box, although this may be very tempting. As a rule of thumb,
keep viewing boxes at least one metre (3 feet) away from the displays.

OPERATION: USER CONTROLS
Important:
The best way to adjust and control the display is by using MediCal, which
displays the ideal test patterns for correct adjustment. However, in case you do
not dispose of MediCal, you can control and adjust the display by means of the
built-in On-Screen Display (OSD).
Switching on / off
Power on/off
Press the Power button {11} on the rear panel to switch on the display. The
green LED at the front is off when the display is operating.
If the display starts up with no image and the green LED {3} on, it is in stand-by.
This is the case when the display was powered down while in stand-by.
Manual stand-by
To put the display in manual stand-by mode, press the control knob {4} shortly.
As a result, the green LED is ON continuously.
Note: You cannot switch the display in manual stand-by when the on-screen
display (OSD) is visible. In that case, first exit the OSD, and then press the
control knob to switch to stand-by mode.
To activate the display from stand-by mode, press the control knob {4} again. As
a result, the LED is switched off again.
Automatic power saving system (DPMS)
The power saving system, if switched on, can power down the display when you
don't use the computer that produces the video and sync. signals for a while. In
that way, the system reduces the display's power consumption.
While the display is powered down, the picture tube will be blanked, and the
green LED on the front is blinking. In the last DPMS mode, the LED will be on
continuously.
The power saving system is switched off when the display is produced. It can be
switched on by a qualified technician.
Note: The power saving system can only work if the connected imaging board
supports power management.
For more details, please read Appendix A, "Background information".

ALC (optional)
Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) is an optional system that automatically
adapts the display contrast and brightness level to the ambient light in the room.
The system has to be adjusted by setting the contrast and brightness in the
darkest ambient light conditions the user works, and then repeating this in the
brightest conditions.
To adjust the ALC system, proceed as follows:
1.
Dim the light in the room to create the darkest ambient light
condition the user normally works in.
2.
Enter the Minimum illuminance menu.
3.
Select Measure ambient light. The display now stores the
ambient light level that corresponds to the darkest condition.
4.
Select Contrast and set the display contrast to the desired level.
5.
Select Brightness and set the display brightness to the desired
level.
6.
Exit the Minimum illuminance menu.
7.
Increase the light in the room to create the brightest ambient light
condition the user normally works in.
8.
Enter the Maximum illuminance menu.
9.
Select Measure ambient light. The display now stores the
ambient light level that corresponds to the brightest condition.
10. Select Contrast and set the display contrast to the desired level.
11. Select Brightness and set the display brightness to the desired
level.
12. Exit the Maximum illuminance menu.

Select No to exit the OSD menus without saving the changes.
What happens upon saving?
•
When the current scanning mode was already stored in the display memory,
the scanning mode is updated with the new adjustment values.
•
When the scanning mode was not yet stored in the memory, the display will
create a new scanning mode in the memory.
However, when the memory was full, the monitor will display a list of scanning
modes in the memory and ask if you wish to overwrite one of them. If you
want to store the adjustments you have made, you will have to overwrite one
of the scanning modes in memory.

MAINTENANCE
Picture tube
The glass panel of the picture tube is handled with a special coating. Take care
not to damage or scratch the coating.
Clean the picture tube with a soft woolen or cotton cloth.
The cloth should be moist, not wet!
Use a watery solution or a mild commercial glass cleaning solution.
Apply (e.g., spray) the solution on the cloth, not on the picture tube.
Cabinet
Clean the cabinet using a recognized cleaning product for medical equipment.
The cloth you use must be moist, not wet!
The cabinet has been tested for resistance to the following products: Cidex,
Betadine, Alcohol (Isopropyl and Ethyl), Ammonia-based cleaners (Windex) and

APPENDIX A:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Luminance Uniformity Correction
A characteristic (or limitation) of every picture tube (CRT) is that the luminance
decreases towards the edge of the screen surface. The decrease is normally 20
to 30 %.
This is caused by the shape of the picture tube. Inside the CRT, a so-called
electron gun shoots an electron beam towards the front (the glass panel).
Because this panel is rather flat instead of having a spheric shape, the electron
beam has to 'travel' a longer distance in the corners than in the center. So the
intensity is higher in the center.
This phenomenon is even increased by the irregular distribution of the phosphor
and aluminium layer on the glass panel. These tend to be thicker in the center.
BARCO has developed a special system, called Luminance Uniformity
Correction (LUC), that solves this problem. The LUC system enhances the light
output at the edges of the CRT, so that the luminance there is the same as in the
center.
The LUC system is calibrated in the factory. From time to time, it has to be recalibrated at the customer's site by means of the light sensor you use for normal
color calibration. The system can be calibrated and switched on or off by a
qualified technician.
Power saving system
The display is equipped with circuits that can handle power saving management.
When the system is switched on, it can power down the display in several steps.
The system is controlled by the imaging board or the PC that delivers the video
signals. When you are working on the computer, the imaging board delivers both
sync signals, and the display is operating normally. When you don't touch the
computer keyboard for a certain time, the imaging board only delivers vertical
sync. This is sensed by the display's micro controller, that blanks the image on
the CRT. This results in a drop of power consumption with about 25 %.
System Manual MeDis 2MP2-1NT - MGD 221 MKII
108
Display user manual
When you leave the computer idle for a longer period, the imaging board now
delivers horizontal sync only. As a result, the display's micro controller switches
off a number of internal circuits. The power consumption has now dropped with
about 42 %.
At last, the imaging board delivers no sync signals at all, and the micro-controller
switches off all but one power supplies in the display. Only the micro-controller's
own supply keeps on running, resulting in a very low power consumption of 6 W.
If you start using the computer again, the imaging board switches on both sync
signals, and the micro-controller switches on the display.
The times after which the different steps of power management must become
active, is set in the PC's display properties.
